I don’t think I understand. Would factoring that in have significantly affected the thesis of the article?

- zamadatix 6y agoI think the implication is if true false positive rate closely matches the reported positive result rate there haven't actually been a growing number of cases just a growing number of tests. I'm not sure the linked material validates this claim strongly though but I also haven't put in the time to see if it doesn't either.
- dgfitz 6y agoOh ok I understand now, thanks for explaining!
- henriquez 6y agoI think the GP is suggesting that the actual case rate is lower than the numbers suggest due to the unknown rate of false positives.
